M2 - English Phonetics 2300-GPTE-M2-EPh
The course offers professional development in the field of teaching English pronunciation. The students build their awareness of the options in choosing goals for pronunciation standards (e.g. RP or English as a Lingua Franca), of areas of particular importance but also of potential difficulties. They create the grounds for working on their own pronunciation and that of their learners, by building the particular awareness of sounds and features of spoken English and the skill to model and explain correct pronunciation, but also of the influence of teaching (particularly bad teaching) on learners’ pronunciation. The course will help the students to improve their skill in using the phonemic transcription, it will also give them ideas for pronunciation practice in the language classroom, both while teaching language content and while focusing on pronunciation in specialised activities.
